Cover Story: Kim Kardashian Almost Called Off Her Wedding
August 20, 2011 is now a day that will live in reality TV infamy. Kim Kardashian wed beau of 9 months Kris Humphries in a lavish, $10 million extravaganza in Montecito, Calif. By Halloween, just 72 days later, Kardashian, 31, filed for divorce from the NBA star, 26.
But pals tell the new Us Weekly, out now, that Kardashian saw red flags before that big, hugely publicized day. "She knew it was wrong before they were even married," a Kardashian insider says. "They were not seeing eye to eye and it felt wrong."

Indeed, as she and her family were putting the finishing touches on the wedding, "she was calling friends, telling them she didn't want to do it," the source reveals to Us.
In the end, however, with so many expectations riding on the nuptials, "she felt like she couldn't turn back," another pal says.
"She got in over her head. She made a big mistake and she knows it."

Kardashian admitted as much in an emotional blog post Tuesday -- her first since Monday's shocking divorcing filing.
"I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have," she wrote. "I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn't know how to and didn't want to disappoint a lot of people."

Tell Us What You Think
80Also, maybe she just freaked out about being 30 and not married.
I think that when she says "didn't want to disappoint a lot of people." she means her mom. I'm sorry for her 'cause it really looks like she's a total pushover. she needs to get her own life and not live what her mother wants her to.
Personally I think that it would have been better if she canceled the wedding before it even happened.
load of crap!!! why then do u go thru something when u know it wont work out? $$$$$
she knew what she was doing and I doubt there would not be a wedding if she wasn't getting some money, her excuse from above is so weak, and transparent, I as others wasted my time watching it, now I think her shine is rather dull now and probably stay that way, she is very pathetic trying to get attention this way she needs to grow up and act like her age 31, my 14 year old niece has alot more sense & good judgement than Kim, just shaneful
when your not ready to get married or you have the gut feeling its not right you always can get out of it. She just did everything for the money.

All for the money
funny how kris & kim were eating, sleeping, travelling, spending time with family together for 9 MONTHS and then wow, 72 days after getting married.. hmmmm, it all changed? totally a publicity stunt or financial bonus arrangement...clear as a bell! can we just get rid of the "K" crowd once & for all?
She's a spoiled BRAT!!
two words : marriage counselling. I wonder if she ever heard of that!
Kris H seemed too frugal to be spending $2m on a ring and to be honest they did not respect each other...........that was the red flag that the whole thing was staged.
I believe she didn't love him, I mean the way she even said yes to his proposal was whack. Seemed to not say yes until she got a good look at the ring. She needs to give the ring and gifts back and get some therapy because she is so out of touch with reality at this point, its scary.
Too bad she wasn't bright enough to listen to her intuition. But no, she always has to be the center of attention. And what's with that fishtail dress? Short, fat women should never wear them; it makes them look even worse.
It's not about growing up or day in day out, whatever other comments people have. It's about happiness. If you can't understand what happiness means to you, I truly feel sorry for you. She's just like us, makes mistakes but in the end bashing her isn't making you any better.
That's a really lame excuse. If you didn't feel it was right, then you shouldn't have done it. I don't feel sorry for her one bit. A friend of mine backed out on the day of their wedding because they realized there was no way in hell they could go through with it, after being pushed and pushed by everyone to do it in the first place. Best choice they EVER made.
